Not long after the disaster occurred, governments at all levels and relevant departments made an emergency response. Rescue teams were organized and dispatched; relief supplies were gathered and sent out; disaster information began to be disseminated; and relevant leaders quickly went to the front lines for inspection and command. The timeliness and effectiveness of these measures helped control the losses caused by the earthquake and allowed victims to receive proper安置and assistance as soon as possible.
At this moment, people naturally care about which leaders have gone to which disaster areas, but they are more concerned with how many buildings have collapsed, how many people have died, and how many may still be buried under the rubble. At this moment, people also care whether the troops have arrived, whether all relevant departments are busy, how the morale of rescue personnel is, and what heroic deeds there are, but they are more concerned with where the victims are staying, what they can eat, and how many are homeless. At this moment, people are certainly willing to hear from certain departments and individuals about what they have done and are doing for the disaster areas and victims, but they would rather hear from the victims themselves about what they need from the outside world. At this moment, the disaster areas and victims are the true protagonists. Only by seeing and hearing more from these protagonists can countless people near and far know what they can do and should do.
Nowadays, information flows more smoothly and science is more advanced, but if sensational rumors appear, their speed of transmission might be faster and their destructive power stronger. Rumors are dispelled by the wise, and the only way to make everyone wise is to let them see more of the protagonists of this disaster.
At this moment, the disaster areas and victims are the true protagonists. All lenses, focuses, and gazes should be directed more towards them. This not only benefits the disaster areas and victims but also every organization and individual related to this event. One more caring look towards the victims may mean countless more helping hands reaching out to the disaster areas.
